Surgical intervention Readability

The surgical intervention section needs work to increase readability Mgiulietti (talk) 17:09, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removed redundant information

Perseuspatel added information in March 2017 about the Rome process criteria for diagnosing children. The information is good but the user added the same list twice; obviously it should only be in once. I just removed one list. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:44, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

History of constipation

I just added a history section per WP:MEDMOS. In it I posted two books which address the history of constipation. I have not read either of these books, and only found excerpts online.

Whorton, James C. (2000). Inner hygiene : constipation and the pursuit of health in modern society. New York: Oxford University Press. ISBN 978-0195135817.
Hornibrook, F. A. (1929). The culture of the abdomen;: The cure of obesity and constipation. Heinemann.

I did a pubmed search and was unable to find anything about history there. This is a start! Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:52, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
